Brew-skie for you-skie?

We are all well aware of the vices used by most of our recent Presidents (and potential ones.)

I.E.


"I didn't inhale."




BUT how about our very first Commander-In-Chief? Looks like the first George W. liked to relax with a cold one every now and again (Of course, he had to make it himself.)

"To Make Small Beer." By George Washington.
From his 1757 notebook.

My friend has been working in the archives at the New York Public Library and sent me a copy of this beer recipe written by George Washington. See here: http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/rbk/gwbeer.html

This is only one of the cool things she has archived while working there, and much of this material is available for the public to see! Books. Check 'em out!


Thanks to Jacob for unearthing the C-Raisin's vid.
